He's got the California state legislature on lockdown until they can pass a budget, the state is embarrassingly broke, Californians are losing jobs and homes by the thousands -- and the Governator is off doing a movie!?!

WTF?!

Arnold Schwarzenegger will take time off to shoot a scene for Sylvester Stallone's upcoming action flick, "The Expendables."

Shooting is expected to begin next month. No word on whether Arnie plans to donate his paycheck to the deficit.
